Graham Coleman has never been invisible. Everyone knows his name at school, on the field, in every room he walks into. They just never really see him. Raised in a house where attention only comes when something goes wrong, Graham learned early that it's easier to act like he doesn't care than admit no one ever cared first. Neglected, controlled, and always on the outside looking in, he's spent his whole life surviving alone. Everything changes when his father is arrested for fraud, leaving Graham with nowhere to go. With no one else willing to take him in, the call goes to the only family he has left, the older half-brother he's never met. Rhys Coleman wants nothing to do with his father's new family, or the spoiled kid he assumes Graham must be. But with emancipation only three months away, he agrees to let Graham stay... temporarily. Rhys doesn't want him. Graham doesn't know how to be wanted. What starts as an obligation turns into something neither of them expected, as two brothers with completely different lives realize they never knew the truth about each other. But some damage runs deep, and some people learn to be alone so well they don't know how to stop. A story about being seen but never known, about family that comes too late, and about whether love can fix what was broken long before anyone noticed.

Bottling up emotions is one of Danny's greatest skills. Since the age of 5, Danny has had to fend for himself in the rough environment of foster care. Each time he'd get a new foster family seemed to create more problems than it solved. He built up his walls. To the untrained eye, Danny was a straight A student, and a polite, kind, quiet teenager. It was the reputation he spent years creating. All he ever wanted was to not be seen as the "troubled foster kid." And it was a success. That is, until his biological father reached out and tore his walls down. Danny was more confused than ever. He had a family, 3 brothers, that he didn't even know existed. He couldn't help but feel jealousy at the thought that they were raised with his father while he struggled with abusive foster parents. He had one prominent question, though; just what exactly happened to his mother?
